Former U.S. Senator Tim Hutchinson Named Influential Lobbyist

A division of Washington, D.C.-based CQ Press has named former U.S. Senator Tim Hutchinson (R) as one of the 30 most influential federal lobbyists in the nation.

First Street, a research arm of CQ Press, announced its First Street 30, an inaugural list of the 10 most influential and connected lobbyists in three categories: former-members of Congress, former-congressional staffers, and professional lobbyists.

Almost 13,000 professionals registered to lobby Congress in 2011.

Hutchinson, who represented Arkansas’ Third Congressional District and was a one-term U.S. Senator, now works in the Dickstein Shapiro’s Public Policy and Law practice. Hutchinson presently works on matters related to agriculture, education, the environment, healthcare, homeland security, labor, and transportation.
